    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am sure you have noticed that, since the introduction of the status of business before committees, it is clear that the performance at the committee levels is lacking. The Committee work is so critical to the oversight and legislative roles of the House, but it seems we have accumulated so much work in our Committees. Even when a Committee has completed something, it takes the House so long before approval is granted so that implementation can be followed. This is an area of performance and productivity of the House that needs to be re- examined. In fact, there should be performance targets on the business that goes before the Committees and the time it takes for resolutions of the House so that they may be implemented. If it goes on like this, the House will adjourn next year with huge reports untouched and that will reflect on the performance of the 11th Parliament. This should be looked at by the House Business Committee so that we get better standards than what we are receiving now."
